An Inconvenient Marriage
In order to receive his inheritance, Jake Mitchell must marry. In order to save her family's farm, Sue Lewis must marry a rich man. So Jake comes up with a plan.
Why not strike up a platonic, business arrangement where they can marry each other for six months? Then they are free to annul the marriage and go their separate ways.
Unfortunately for him, the people he knows are determined to keep them together. Between an army of suitors willing to woo Sue before her annulment and the Lewis brothers scheming to show Jake how attractive she is, laughter and love are in the air. And in the end, a confirmed bachelor might discover that an inconvenient marriage may not be so inconvenient after all.

3.5 stars
Lowered the stars for 3 reasons.
1. There are some real hokey parts in this that are eye rolling and slap stick which I didn't care for. I suppose it was an attempt at humor but just failed and came off as silly.
2. "Checking you out" is just one of the many modern phrases used which made me lose the feeling of the time period.
3. Time line is off with the hero's past childhood. His mother died at 23. His father left when he was 10. Yet his mother was still alive a few years after the father left. So if his mother dies at 23 and his father left a few years before she died.. what was she 10? when she conceived? This bugged me.
Anyway. The beginning was REALLY good. I loved the heroine and how feisty she was. I guess it's because I like strong heroines, and I can relate to them. She didn't let anyone dictate her life and she had some great angry moments.. which I loved. Unfortunately, the story peetered off a bit and I felt there were too many instances where the author was trying to create new drama to keep the pace going, and it did, but was always resolved too fast and easily.
Overall, it was a good read, I enjoyed it and it was something that was good for me to read while sick..an easy read.
Safety:
Hero-Virgin (first only and last with heroine)
Heroine-Virgin (First last and only with hero)
Cheating - No
OM/OW- Hero was engaged before, but the woman only wanted his money. He found out left her at the alter. He is over it. She comes back attempting to get him back, the heroine thwarts it..and he doesn't want her back anyway.
Adultery/rape/abuse/torture-No
Sex-Once near the end.. it was decent and detailed. Mildly spicy
HEA/ILY-Yes
Marriage-Yes
Baby-no
Preachy - Not IMO

This book is awful, if I could give it less than one star I would.
I have read better fanfiction written by 12 year olds with more interesting characters than this Mary Sue and completely flat male protagonist.
I agree with whoever said it's undecided if it's a Christian romance or a flat out romance. The swinging back and forward actually became irritating. I should also point out I had NO idea this was supposed to be set in the 1800s. There is little to no indication in the story and the atmosphere isn't telling in the slightest.
To summarize, I have never not finished a book, but I was SORELY tempted with this one.

I loved this story. It was a nice little charmer with very intriguing surprises. What I enjoyed most was that this wasn't the typical historical romance with stereotypical characters. Ruth puts a unique and comical spin on an old plot and comes up with a gem that pleased me from beginning to end.
This is one of few books where I enjoyed all the characters, even the secondary ones. The character development was spot on and the characters' actions stayed true to their personalities. My favorite character was Sue hands down. I found it refreshing that back in that time Sue was a strong woman who stuck to her guns and didn't back down. I know some felt a woman wouldn't act like that back then but this proves that people had different personalities no matter what time frame a story's in. I can't stand a weak female character and if Sue hadn't been who she was I wouldn't have gotten through this book. I liked Jake but I really related to Sue and admired her for the type of woman she was.
I liked the pacing of the book though I thought some scenes last a little too long. I would have liked the history of Jake's father to be delved into a little sooner than it happened. It kind of felt like it was an afterthought coming so close to the end of the story. I liked how Ruth added mystery and comedy at just the right times. The comedy won me over and really set this book apart from most historical romances. Another thing I loved was that Ruth keeps you guessing. You couldn't tell what would happen from scene to scene and none of the characters were predictable.
I couldn't put it down for long. This is the kind of book where you take a break but keep saying, "Okay I'll read just one more page and stop." But then you can't stop because it sucks you in at every scene. I wasn't bored once and I wouldn't mind seeing more of these characters in the future.
If you're a fan of well-written historical romance with engaging subplots, definitely check this out. But if you're not into comedy or lack a sense of humor, skip it. This book is a mixture of many comedic moments, family drama, romance and women empowerment and if that's not your thing then you probably won't see what the author set out to accomplish.
I've read Ruth's work before and with this I've become a life-long fan! I highly recommend "Loving Eliza" by Ruth as well. It's one of my favorite books!

I really enjoyed An Inconvenient Marriage, it was well written, romantic and funny. The storyline was great and I liked the characters.
April 25, 2022
I’m giving this one 5 stars because it’s dual virgins and it kept me entertained. However, there were some moments where I forgot if I was reading contemporary romance or a historical. I get that most romance nowadays doesn’t even attempt to try and fit into the period the story is taking place. And this is one such book. The story is set in the late 1800s but the expressions used, the attitude of the characters reflect a much later time period.
I also felt like there were too many side characters jammed into the book. It got a little distracting and unwieldy after a while.
The heroine is a thirty-something spinster, with a sharp tongue and starts off as very unlikable—she’s the epitome of an obnoxious Karen. In some places she’s downright nasty and rude to the hero for no reason. But she calms down as the book progresses and becomes approachable and less annoying.
Despite these aggravations, and if one can look past the historical anachronisms, it was an enjoyable romance.
This was a safe read—DUAL VIRGINS—but there was some minor OW drama. The hero had been engaged before but had discovered she was a gold digger so he dropped her. He wasn’t in love with her. No cheating or abuse. HEA with epilogue

Book 3: An Inconvenient Marriage
Sue Lewis goes into the bank each day and nags them to help her family save their farm instead of having it repossessed. Jake Mitchell, a wealthy bachelor, is fed up with this nagging woman, she is driving him insane by coming in daily. Although he does want to help her, the bankers son would rather get the property to sell and make more money rather than keep putting off getting paid.
Jake would like to start his own bank. He knows that when the bank owner,Conrad, retires that his son George will take over and Jake knows that will not be a good thing.
Jake's dad left his mom and him when he was only 10. After his mother's death Jake gained much wealth. Now he is told that his father has died and left even more money to Jake. To get his father's money though, Jake must marry and stay married for six months before he can receive the money.
Jake decides he could marry Sue and give her money to pay off the debt for the family farm. The marriage would be a convenience and in name only. The could plan an annulment on May 21st, six months later. No problem, right? Unless love messes with Jake's perfect plans. Jake finds out there is much more to Sue then the nagging woman he first assumed her to be.

I have no idea why anyone would read this book. It was awful. Really, really terrible. I ended up skimming to the end because I couldn't stand it anymore. The many, many subplots were ridiculous. The characters were poorly written and unlikeable. The writing, overall, was awful. Very juvenile. I realized partway through that it was self published. That makes sense because no one else would pay her to write. One of the many things I hated about her book was the lack of historical accuracy. It took place in 1899 but there were so many things that didn't exist, phrases and attitudes that people didn't have yet. It drove me crazy.
August 22, 2010
Ridiculous story line, poor writing. I don't expect too much from the romance genre, in general, but there was just so much wrong with this one. The author had no feel for the period whatsoever. There were quite a few unforgivable anachronisms. For example, at one point a liitle boy in the story uses the word 'gross' to mean 'disgusting' a use that didn't occur until 100 years later.
October 21, 2014
After reading something so involved and heavy like "Unbroken", I needed something completely different and light. I enjoyed this sweet turn of the century story about two strong minded people who start out on opposite sides and eventually learn to like then love each other. Nice story, just what I needed.
July 31, 2014
Overall I enjoyed the book, however, it annoyed me the lengths Jake went through to keep the men from looking at his "wife" knowing that by doing so he good be punishing her to a life of spinsterhood after their marriage ended. He didn't care. I thought that was selfish and inconsiderate of him and it kept me from giving the book more stars. TTFN-Elise.

A good old-fashioned love story. Jake Mitchell is an eligible and confirmed bachelor in the late 1800s and Sue Lewis is a woman past her prime for marriage with a mind of her own. They enter an unlikely marital arrangement that changes bot their lives. Intriguing, fun read.

I bought this book a while back (years) and it sat on my shelf until a few days ago. Upon deciding to read it I checked out some reviews. I almost didn't read it. It turned out I did like the characters (despite the rather rude introduction to Sue's character), but many of the reviews were right:. The anachronisms are mind-boggling (trash bags (1950), divorce (1920's), annulment, allusions to commercially canned (1912) and prepackaged foods in the cabinet, open discussions about sex?), and there are several editing errors.
Personally I think this book would work better if it took place later, at least 1920 or so. But I did like the interaction between the two main characters and the antics of Sue's family were hilarious! However, I'm not sure I am interested in reading more in the series or any more by this author. Do your research, Ms. Nordin, and get a better editor.

Jake and Sue.
It was OK. The first quarter was vaguely annoying as it put Sue down and made Jake seem like an ass.
Gradually through the story the MCs gain depth and appreciation for each other.
Sue is almost willfully blind to the interest of other men. But other than that she comes across as intelligent and no-nonsense.
There is an OW wannabe who pops out of the wood work towards the end but it's entertaining and no big deal. More a source of humour.
I think RAN was going for a bit of a romantic comedy with this one, with Sue's family being the clowns and Jake being the straight man.
It fell kinda flat for me though.

A pleasant little tour de farce. There were definite and blaring editing problems. Staying true to the historic setting also seemed to come and go (Cool Whip in the 1800's?) I must admit I almost threw it aside at one point, but trudged on. It was interesting reading this work by someone from my hometown.

I thought the book was a waste of paper, very immature writing, extremely predictable,
and I will never get any more of the authors books. Far too chidish for me, no depth,
and very little story. So glad I didn;t pay for it,

i actually liked this book more than i thought i would (im about 3/4 done)
the premise of the story sounded good ... the heroine Sue is debt strapped and basically on the edge of losing her farm and home due to a father who isnt good witrh money and did a few bad money calls and investments -- she goes to the bank to try and work out a deal several times .. but their hands are tied and basically see the farm as a finacial risk and suggestthat she sells it and buys a cheap home in town outright ....
but the farm has been in the family for generations
enter the hero jake .. hes the banker at the bank he wants to help but he only works there till he can buy his own bank and help ppl in need more
he cant help till he gets a letter from his lawyer telling him his father left a large inheritance for him -- with a catch -- he must marry a woman -- and stay married for 6 months to get the cash -- AND the woman must have criteria to match
basically it works out that he realises that Sue matches the criteria -- he cann pay off her debt in return AND have enough for his bank ..... strictly buisness ya know .. what he didnt factor in was falling for sue or her crazy loveable family .....can he let go after the 6 months now shes everything he never thought he wanted ??
i liked the ending was pretty funny and though they didnt make love till almost the end of the book was really sweet and still sexy enough for a historical romance ... and sue's humour and nature is a must read for anyone...

I liked this third book of the Virginia series for a number of reasons. The mismatchmeant or so it seems of Jake and Sue. He is a well to do and somewhat snobbish banker and she is a librarian and a tomboy. She needs money to help save the family farm and Jake needs a wife quickly. Definitely not a love match at the beginning but a business arrangement for six months and then to go their separate ways.
This books also shows how an off hand comment can lead to life long consequences. An article years prior describing Jake's cancellation of his wedding stated that he appeared without his jacket on. Now everything is about appearances. For him everything has to be without blemish; nothing out of place, immaculate clothing, never getting dirty.
The humor is outstanding. The secondary characters of Sue's family had me nearly in tears from laughter! After Jake and Sue's marriage unknown to her, she has multiple suitors, making Jake jealous. He quietly and at times not so quietly gets rid of them. Sue cannot cook and Jake uses this it get rid of her suitors. Sue finally figures out what Jake is up to and ends up with dessert all over him.
Both Jake and Sue realize that they not as mismatched as it looks but compliment each other very well.

Enjoyed reading the book although the story was repeated and we've seen it in many movies but Ruth Ann Nordin has a way of describing details that makes you feel you are part of the story! I loved what she wrote describing Sue:
“Sue was actually easy on the eyes, despite the fact that she wore her blond curly hair in a bun. Her face was nice to look at. Her hourglass figure and ample bosom were even better. Her green eyes and fair complexion would grab the attention of any man, but her aggressive behavior turned men off, which was why she was still single at thirty-three. No man wanted a nag for a wife.”
I fell in love with Sue from the above words!

Witty, lighthearted historical romance novel. I like that the characters are Christians who have strong faith on God. I seldom find novels that complements my beliefs and when I do, I really appreciate them. My favorite parts are those with the Lewises. That bunch is a riot. There were instances that made me laugh out loud. I also found the suitors deal hilarious. Although the end part was a little too comedic for my taste, I reckon the author wanted to emphasize the loyalty of the Lewises and how they have embraced Jake as a member of their family which only endeared me more to them.

After reading His Redeeming Bride, this was kind of a let down. I'm not saying that to be mean or anything - just honest. I actually had to skip some scenes because it felt slightly repetitive and the ending was eerily similar to His Redeeming Bride. That definitely threw me off. I didn't really connect or feel much for the characters, really. Sigh.

This is the first book I've read using my new Nook and that's probably the only reason I stuck with it to the end; the Nook is just fun to use. The story line was weak and the writing was simplistic to the point of being irritating. While the characters were likeable, it just wasn't enough to make this book a good read.

This is before "Falling in Love with her Husband" Todd and Ann's story. Todd is brought into the bank meeting with this story's main, Jake.
Jake works at a bank. Sue's family is having money problems. Fate seems to have a plan to fix their problems.... or create more.
Comedies and lots of manipulations mixed in with romance. Rocky Mountain Oysters vs. Cavier

A very nice story
A very nice story
I really enjoyed this story. The writing may be a little weak, but the characters are believable and strong. I don't think there is anything wrong with a good story teaching strong moral codes. This one did that very well. I will look for more books from this author.

This is basically a wholesome novel in a setting of eastern US about 100 years ago. It isn't written all that well and the plot is rather predictable. It does have a solid value system embedded into the story.

This book gets two star only because it made me laugh so hard that I cried. The setting...Urban Virginia. The date...1888. Only about 75 years before the garbage bag was invented, why does the hero of the story ask his butler for a garbage bag?
March 12, 2011
My least favorite book by this author. I felt that she was indecisive about either making it a Christian Romance novel or just a plain romance novel. Some of the scenes where a little confusing and the male protagonist was weak. In other words he was boring. He had no appeal.
April 16, 2011
Terrible, even for a romance novel...for that matter even for a freebie. The characters were flat, the plot line was all over the place (not in a good way) and frankly I have not read something this unenjoyable in a long time.

Book #31 of 2011 - I keep waiting for her to write the next in the Nebraska Series, so I'm busying myself with these. I never thought I'd be one who liked period literature, but this - set in turn-of the 1900s in Virginia - is a great story.
